Portuguese footballer and manager
Luís Manuel Ribeiro de Castro (born 3 September 1961) is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a right-back . He is the current manager of Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr .
He played for Vitória de Guimarães and Elvas in the Primeira Liga but spent most of his career in the lower leagues. In a managerial career of over a quarter of a century, he led four teams in his nation's top flight, including briefly Porto where he won the second tier with the reserve team in 2016 . He also won a Ukrainian Premier League title for Shakhtar Donetsk in 2020 , and worked in Qatar, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
Early life
[ edit ]
Castro was born in the village of Mondrões [pt ] , in Vila Real . He moved to Casal dos Claros and Vieira de Leiria in the Leiria District , due to his father's military profession. At age 11, he nearly died of purpura , which stopped him from playing football for three years.[1] [2]
For two years, Castro was a student of Physics at the University of Coimbra .[3] [4] [5]
Playing career
[ edit ]
Castro spent most of his 17-year professional career in the lower leagues, representing União de Leiria , Elvas , Fafe and Águeda in the Segunda Liga , and Vitória de Guimarães and Elvas in the Primeira Liga .
With the latter, he appeared in 28 matches in the 1987–88 season , but his team ranked in 15th place and suffered relegation.[6]
Managerial career
[ edit ]
Portugal
[ edit ]
One year after retiring from professional football, Castro began working as a manager with his final club Águeda, where he would remain for two seasons. He went on to be in charge of lowly Mealhada [pt ] , Estarreja and Sanjoanense , before being appointed at Penafiel in the top tier in summer 2004[7] and guiding it to the eleventh position in his debut campaign ,[4] the highlight being a 1–0 home win against Benfica .[8]
Following Penafiel's relegation in 2006 , Castro left the club, joining Porto 's youth academy and eventually coaching the reserves .[9] On 5 March 2014, following the resignation of Paulo Fonseca at the helm of the main squad, he was put in interim charge until the end of the season .[10]
Castro led Porto's reserves to the LigaPro title in 2015–16 ; they were the first B team to win the division and as such ineligible for promotion.[11] He then managed three sides in the Portuguese top flight after leaving for Rio Ave in November 2016,[12] going on to Chaves [13] and Vitória de Guimarães .[14] In May 2019, at the end of his only campaign at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques , he secured for them fifth place and a spot in the UEFA Europa League at the expense of neighbours Moreirense .[15]
Shakhtar Donetsk
[ edit ]
On 12 June 2019, Castro signed a two-year contract at Shakhtar Donetsk as a replacement for compatriot Paulo Fonseca who left for Roma after winning three Ukrainian Premier League championships in a row.[16] In his first season in Eastern Europe, the team's hopes of a sixth consecutive national cup were thwarted in the last 16 by Dynamo Kyiv ,[17] but they did win a fourth league title in a row[18] and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League .[19]
In the 2020–21 edition of the UEFA Champions League , Castro led Shakhtar to win twice over Real Madrid in the group stages,[20] yet they eventually finished third in the group and dropped into the Europa League, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Fonseca's Roma .[21] In April 2021, with the domestic title all but taken by their rivals Dynamo , he announced that he would leave at the end of the campaign .[22] He ended his tenure on 9 May with a 1–0 win over Inhulets Petrove .[23] In the Ukrainian Cup, they had a bye to the quarter-finals , where they lost 1–0 after extra time at second-tier Ahrobiznes Volochysk .[24]
On 12 May 2021, Shakhtar announced that Castro would be leaving the club after two years in charge.[25]
Al-Duhail
[ edit ]
Castro agreed to a one-year contract with Al-Duhail of the Qatar Stars League on 10 August 2021.[26] On 18 March 2022, immediately after having won the Emir Cup by defeating Al-Gharafa 5–1,[27] he left by mutual consent.[28]
Botafogo
[ edit ]
On 25 March 2022, Castro was named head coach of Botafogo in the Brazilian Série A , on a two-year deal.[29] A year later, during his debut campaign in the Campeonato Carioca , the team won the Taça Rio with a 7–3 aggregate win over Audax Rio de Janeiro .[30]
Castro led his side to their best-ever Série A start in eight rounds , only behind Palmeiras ' feat in the 2019 edition .[31] On 30 June 2023, he left after accepting an offer from a foreign club.[32]
Al Nassr
[ edit ]

On 6 July 2023, Castro was appointed at Al Nassr of the Saudi Pro League , replacing the dismissed Rudi Garcia .[33] On 12 August, they conquered the Arab Club Champions Cup following a 2–1 victory against Al Hilal .[34] He started the AFC Champions League campaign with a 2–0 win at Iran's Persepolis on 19 September.[35] In spite of star player Cristiano Ronaldo leading the scoring charts with a league all-time best 35 goals, his side finished second to the same opposition ,[36] losing the final of the King's Cup against that very team following a penalty shootout .[37]
